1) I did a bit of reading on Dr. Karim. While there does appear to be some anecdotal evidence I could not find any rigorous studies that support his hypothesis. If you know of any please share them.
2) I have an immediate family member who trained as a raiki master. They told me point blank there was no point in giving me a treatment because I did not believe that it would work. This is a significant red flag for me since if it only works because I believe then it’s psychosomatic and not, as the raiki practitioners claim, them doing something with energy.
Sorry if my differing life experiences and opposing view points are making me an asshole again.
